Cupressus arizonica var. glabra ‘Blue Ice’ is a fast-growing evergreen conifer featuring fragrant, silvery-blue foliage and flaky, peeling mahogany/reddish-brown bark. It is excurrent (has a single, dominant central trunk) and has a columnar to upright pyramidal habit. Uses include low-maintenance privacy screen, hedge, or windbreak. Excellent in desert and seacoast landscapes. Low to moderate water use; it is highly drought resistant once established. Requires full sun and has very poor shade tolerance. It thrives in a wide variety of soils (sand, loam, clay) as long as they are well-draining. Deer-resistant. Verticillium wilt-resistant. Cold hardy to -10°F.
